I know this sounds a bit strange, but I have been trying to record MP3 songs onto cassettes. I will be buying a vintage portable cassette tape recorder with a mic input slot. I was wondering if connecting a jack to jack cable from my headphone output on my pc to the microphone input on the cassette recorder, if the sound would come out clear and in stereo?

Hi, I've been doing home recordings with my Tascam 414 portastudio and now I want to make a step to a Reel to reel multritrack recorder.
I've checked some of the articles I've found online and I want to know which one should I choose:

Phillips 4404

Pioneer Model Rt 1020l

Akai Gx-210d

Akai 4000 Db

Akai X-355 Solid State

All are around $4800 Argentine pesos... something like US $520
Any advice?
Thanks!

Recently, sweetbeats has all but departed, Beck is gone, and we almost lost the Ghost.

I've heard tales of what a great place this was.

So i guess in asking who's still here. A place like this is needed in my estimation.

:-)

Hi everyone !

I just purchased a Tascam 688 midistudio cassette multitrack recorder (used) and unpacked it today and played around, I only have beginner knowledge of this sort of signal routing so I mostly stuck to the manual to test everything out and had some trouble getting the machine to engage the tape to record or play for some reason, was wondering if anyone has any idea why this might be the case ?

I put in a 90-minute high bias tape (I know you're supposed to use shorter ones but I was just testing it out !) and tried hitting play and then hitting play & record but both times the tape heads engaged the tape and then immediately disengaged. Fast-forward and Rewind seemed to work. Anyone had any experience with this happening ?

For reference, the tape cover is actually missing off the unit, not sure if this is connected but seems possible ?

Thank you guys so much for any help you can give, I'm very excited to see if I can get this thing running ! Hope everyone is having a good week. : - )
